The tour also takes you along mysterious-looking caves with ancient stalactites and stalagmites.

Accommodation: Jungle Lodge, Tangkahan, incl. breakfast & lunch

Today you have the unique opportunity to wash and bathe the patrol elephants in Leuser National Park.

Please note:

The elephants are not circus attractions for tourists – they are the heroes of the jungle and work for nature conservation!

In Indonesia (and all of Southeast Asia), elephants have been used as farm animals for thousands of years, just as horses are used in Europe and America. The elephants are bred and spend the weekdays in the jungle, not in cages or enclosures. They have been used for centuries as a means of transport through the jungle to combat illegal loggers and poachers.

The patrol elephants and park rangers in Tangkahan enjoy our highest respect.

The elephants, of course, deserve good treatment and also enjoy being washed and bathed.

Afterwards we continue by jeep towards Bukit Lawang. On the way you will see many plantations of the most exotic fruits and get in touch with the local population during some stops. You will have lunch on the way (included).

Once you arrive in Bukit Lawang, you will first check in at your lodge and then go with your guide in search of wild orangutans and other native wildlife in Leuser National Park

Accommodation: Hotel Orangutan, Deluxe Room, Bukit Lawang, incl. breakfast & lunch

Early in the morning, your trekking tour through the Leuser National Park begins in search of wild animals.

The park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and provides a safe home for the critically endangered Sumatran orangutan, the Sumatran tiger and the Sumatran rhinoceros.

75% of the wild orangutan populations live in this park. Therefore, the chance of wildlife observations is particularly high. Macaques, langurs, gibbons, peacocks, flying squirrels and hornbills also like to be seen frequently.

Your guide will tell you everything you need to know about nature and its inhabitants along the way.

Your lunch will be served in the jungle by the river, where you can relax and cool off in the crystal clear waters while swimming.

After that, you will hike for another hour and explore the magical rainforest, hike up the hills to a fantastic viewpoint with many wild orchids. After a short break, you will continue upstream to the Bohorok River.
